Draft Finding of No Practicable 

Alternative (FONPA) prepared because 

portions of the proposed action occur in 

floodplains or involve construction in 

wetlands, or both. 

DATES: Comments on the DEIS can be 

submitted during the 45-day public 

review period, through 4 February 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MOTSU is 

the Military Surface Deployment and 

Distribution Command’s East Coast 

strategic ammunition port and is DoD’s 

primary ammunition seaport supporting 

the European, African, and Middle 

Eastern areas of operation. The 

proposed action includes barricade 

safety, waterfront maintenance, Pleasure 

Island Explosive Safety Clear Zone 

security, linear infrastructure (e.g., 

roads, rail, utilities, firebreaks), 

stormwater mitigation, and cantonment 

area infill. The proposed action also 

includes modernizing operation areas 

and general repair and maintenance of 

infrastructure, to include facilities, 

wharves, roads, rail, utilities, and 

perimeter security. The proposed 

projects address critical mission 

requirements and are planned for fiscal 

years 2025 through 2031. 

The DEIS evaluates the potential 

impacts associated with implementing 

the proposed RPMP activities, to 

include analyzing Full-Plan 

Implementation, a Partial 

Implementation Alternative, and a NoAction Alternative. The DEIS assesses 

the impacts of the alternatives on 

resources and identifies mitigation 

measures. Resource areas and potential 

impacts addressed include coastal zone 

management, air quality, noise, geology 

and soils, water resources, biological 

resources, and cultural resources. The 

DEIS has not identified any significant 

impacts, but consultation is ongoing 

with regulatory agencies. 

Executive Order (E.O.) 11988, 

Floodplain Management, requires that if 

an agency finds that the only practicable 

alternative for an action requires siting 

in a floodplain, the agency shall design 

or modify its action in order to 

minimize potential harm to or within 

the floodplain. Under E.O. 11990, 

Protection of Wetlands, an agency must 

avoid undertaking new construction in 

wetlands unless the agency finds that 

there is no practicable alternative to 

such construction. The Army 

determined that elements of the 

proposed action must be located within 

portions of the floodplain and wetlands 

at MOTSU. Accordingly, a Draft 

FONPA—i.e., a notice containing an 

explanation of why the action is 

proposed to be located in floodplains 

and wetlands—is also being circulated 

for public review and comment. 

Native American Tribes, federal, state, 

and local agencies/officials, and other 

interested entities/individuals are 

encouraged to comment on the DEIS 

and Draft FONPA during the 45- day 

public comment period. The DEIS and 

Draft FONPA are available on the 

project website at: https://

www.sddc.army.mil/SitePages/ 

Environmental%20Programs.aspx. All 

comments postmarked or received by 4 

February 2025 will be considered in the 

development of the Final EIS. Following 

the conclusion of the comment period, 

the Army will consider all comments 

and prepare responses that will appear 

in an appendix of the Final EIS. The 

Final EIS will be made available to the 

public, which will start a 30-day waiting 

period. No sooner than the conclusion 

of that waiting period, the Army will 

publish a Record of Decision.

Annual Burden Hours: 3,084. 

Needs and Uses: Section 22 of the 

Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 

2762) requires the U.S. Government to 

use foreign funds, rather than U.S. 

appropriated funds, to purchase military 

equipment for foreign governments. To 

comply with this requirement, the 

Government needs to know how much 

of each progress payment to charge each 

country. DFARS 232.502–4–70(a) 

prescribes use of the contract clause at 

DFARS 252.232–7002, Progress 

Payments for Foreign Military Sales 

Acquisitions, in any contract that 

provides for progress payments and 

contains FMS requirements. The clause 

at 252.232–7002 requires each 

contractor whose contract includes 

foreign military sales (FMS) 

requirements to submit a separate 

progress payment request for each 

progress payment rate and to submit a 

supporting schedule that clearly 

distinguishes the contract’s FMS 

requirements from U.S. requirements. 

The Government uses this information 

to determine how much of each 

country’s funds to disburse to the 

contractor.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID: DoD–2024–OS–0138] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Defense, Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of the 

Secretary of Defense is modifying and 

reissuing a current system of records 

titled, ‘‘Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database,’’ DHRA 06. This system of 

records was originally established to 

centralize case-level sexual assault data 

involving a member of the Armed 

Forces, in a manner consistent with 

statute and DoD regulations for 

Unrestricted and Restricted reporting; 

and to facilitate reports to Congress on 

claims of retaliation in connection with 

an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault 

made by or against a member of the 

Armed Forces. Additional laws and 

policy changes require DSAID to 

include information on the claims of 

retaliation connected with Unrestricted 

Reports of sexual assault made by or 

against a member of the Armed Forces 

and Unrestricted Reports of adult sexual 

assault cases under the Family 

Advocacy Program (FAP). This system 

of records notice (SORN) is being 

updated to comply with the National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), 

provide the ability to collect sexual 

assault cases for the U.S. Space Force 

(USSF), and improve prevention. This 

SORN is also being updated to add three 

standard DoD routine uses (routine uses 

B, I, and J), and various other sections 

within the SORN to improve clarity or 

update information that has changed. 

Additionally, the DoD is issuing a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which 

proposes to exempt this system of 

records from certain provisions of the 

Privacy Act, elsewhere in today’s issue 

of the Federal Register. 

DATES: This system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before January 21, 2025. 

The Routine Uses are effective at the 

close of the comment period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by either of the following methods: 

* Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

* Mail: Department of Defense, Office 

of the Assistant to the Secretary of 

Defense for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency, Regulatory Directorate, 

4800 Mark Center Drive, Attn: Mailbox 

#24, Suite 05F16, Alexandria, VA 

22350–1700. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the agency name and 

docket number for this Federal Register 

document. The general policy for 

comments and other submissions from 

members of the public is to make these 

submissions available for public 

viewing on the internet at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Defense Sexual Assault Incident 

Database (DSAID) system of records is 

used to collect and maintain 

information regarding sexual assaults, 

and any associated retaliation 

allegations, involving a member of the 

Armed Forces. Section 563 of the 

Duncan Hunter NDAA for Fiscal Year 

(FY) 2009 (Pub. L. 110–417) requires the 

DSAID for the purpose of collecting and 

maintaining information regarding 

sexual assaults involving a member of 

the Armed Forces. Additional laws and 

policy changes require DSAID to 

include information on the claims of 

retaliation connected with Unrestricted 

Reports of sexual assault made by or 

against a member of the Armed Forces 

and Unrestricted Reports of adult sexual 

assault cases under the FAP. As 

mandated, this Department-wide 

database includes sexual assault-related 

data about the victim, the (alleged) 

offender, and the outcome of any 

investigation and legal proceedings 

connected with the assault, or 

associated retaliation allegation. This 

SORN is being updated to comply with 

section 538 of the FY18 NDAA (Pub. L. 

115–191) and provide the ability to 

collect sexual assault cases for the 

USSF. This SORN is also being updated 

to add three additional standard DoD 

routine uses, and various other sections 

of the SORN. 

Subject to public comment, the Office 

of the Secretary of Defense proposes to 

update this system of records to add 

DoD standard routine uses B, I, and J. 

Modifications are also being made to the 

following sections of the SORN: (1) to 

the System Location to add information 

about cloud storage; (2) to the Authority 

for Maintenance of the System section 

to add additional authorities; (3) to the 

Purpose of the System section to expand 

on the uses of the information; (4) to the 

Categories of Records in the System 

section to clarify the different record 

types; (5) to the Record Source 

Categories to add additional source 

information; (6) to the Policies and 

Practices for Storage of Records to 

update the records storage medium in 

which the records are maintained; (7) to 

the Policies and Practices for Retrieval 

of Records to expand on how records 

are retrieved; (8) to the Administrative, 

Technical, and Physical Safeguards to 

update the individual safeguards 

protecting the personal information; and 

(9) to the Record Access and 

Notification Procedures sections to 

reflect the need for individuals to 

identify the appropriate DoD office or 

component to which their request 

should be directed. 

DoD SORNs have been published in 

the Federal Register and are available 

from the address in FOR FURTHER
